Biography

Nerdiest Obsession: Museums, Muppets, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons and History  Oh, and weather and Depeche Mode and horses...

Wastes too much time on: deviantArt.com

Favourite female nerd: Abbess Heloise, Aphra Behn, Jane Jacobs, Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey

Favourite male nerd: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (The Muppet Show), Albert Einstein, Graham Young (the palaeontologist, not the murderer) and Brian May

Secretly collects: Toys and Depeche Mode covers, but it’s no secret

Wanted to be ______ when you grew up:  palaeontologist or zoologist - damn that inability to do math

Biggest nerdy triumph:  my MA in Interpretive Studies, but a close second would be seeing my name scroll up on the big screen when Star Wars: Revelations had its premier in Baltimore.

Hates with a fiery passion: lentils and Brussels sprouts and willful ignorance

Nerdy line that makes you swoon: “Intellectual accessibility”

Top 5 sites visited daily: deviantart.com, facebook.com, gmail.com, fashion-era.com, theweathernetwork.ca

Top 5 things everyone should check out ASAP: I try not to tell people what to do. BUT, everyone should watch season 1 of Look Around You, available on YouTube.  And my new favourite webcomic: Hark! A Vagrant.
